Saliva is a complex secretion produced daily by the salivary glands. Saliva consists mainly of water, enzymes, ions and amino acids and performs several important functions in oral health.
The aim of this study was to investigate the flow rate and concentrations of amylase and total proteins in the saliva of hospitalized patients due to AIDS complications.
Ninety-three men and women (20-64 years of age) were divided into two groups (46 HIV-infected patients and 47 controls) and had salivary flow rate and levels of amylase enzyme and total proteins evaluated.
The mean salivary flow rate was lower in individuals with HIV when compared to controls (P < 0.05). No significant difference between amylase enzyme levels and total proteins were observed in the saliva of patients with HIV infection when compared to controls.
Individuals with HIV / AIDS infection (in hospital treatment) suffer no interference in levels of amylase and total salivary proteins, but they have significantly reduced salivary flow.
唾液是唾液腺每日分泌的一种复杂分泌物。唾液主要由水、酶、离子和氨基酸组成,在口腔健康中发挥多种重要功能。
本研究旨在调查因艾滋病并发症住院患者唾液的流速以及淀粉酶和总蛋白的浓度。
93名男女(年龄20 - 64岁)被分为两组(46名HIV感染患者和47名对照组),对其唾液流速、淀粉酶水平和总蛋白进行评估。
与对照组相比,HIV感染者的平均唾液流速较低(P < 0.05)。与对照组相比,HIV感染患者唾液中的淀粉酶水平和总蛋白未观察到显著差异。
感染HIV / AIDS的患者(住院治疗)唾液中的淀粉酶和总蛋白水平未受干扰,但唾液流速显著降低。
